In GC and FE (→EE1) the  before the top most note is already before the 1st chord. It is hard to say how the mistake, which had to be already in [A], occurred (corrections?). In addition, in the proofreading of FE4, this obviously erroneous version was confirmed, by adding in this chord a  before c1. It is either a mistake of the engraver or a missed revision. In GE the  was moved before the second chord, in accordance with the musical sense and the version of analogous bar 142; similarly in EE2, in which, however, flats before the extreme notes of the 1st chord were added.

b. 228-229

No accidentals in GC & FE1 (→FE2→EE1)

Naturals in GE, FE3 (→FE4) & EE2
..

The absence of the naturals raising g(1) to g(1) is almost certainly a mistake of Chopin who partially corrected his error in the proofreading of FE3 by adding a  on the 2nd crotchet in bar 228. In FE4 the second necessary  was added, yet both signs are only in GE and EE2.

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

..

The natural before the 5th quaver in the L.H. in bar 230 (c1) was added only in GE2. The natural before the 1st quaver in bar 231 (d1) is absent in FE; it was added in EE. The sign is also in GC, in which it is added by Chopin's hand (in bar 43), and in GE, which is based on it.

No sharps in GC (→GE) & FE1 (→FE2→EE1)

Sharps in FE3 (→FE4) & EE2
..

Same as in bar 54, we include in the main text the sharps raising the f1-f2 grace note to f1-f2, added – most probably by Chopin – in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4). The change was introduced also in EE2.
